    Every year in my town at halloween theres this house that so convincingly burns down at sunset that there is a constant flow of traffic to see it, each of the windows has a flame animation playing with fog machines out front, they had to add pirate skeletons to keep people from kicking the front door in attempting to save them.

    My friend is in a production that uses "black light" to put on an interesting show. This would be a cool thing to suggest to them. I was trying to find some software for this but you solved my problem. Thanks.

    Every year here in Sydney we have something called the Vivid Festival, where among other events they do this to various buildings throughout the city. The festival was co-created by Eno!
    Also when I went to Walt Disney World last year they had a _really_ beautiful show centred around doing this w/the castle.

    How does it work if I have a long smooth wall and want to connect 5 projectors together. For example, a panorama. Do I have to have a own computer for each projector or is it also possible with one? best regards

    • @jay2exclusive
      @jay2exclusive 5 років тому +1

      It is possible to use just one, you can use a video splitter or switcher to connect 5 projectors to 11 computer.

  • @maaikiemakes
    @maaikiemakes 5 років тому +1

    The way we made our first projection map was by opening microsoft paint with the projector on, and we simply traced the shape of the object (this was for an art installation). Though I wish we would've found this video, we might've been able to do more xD

    This is cool. But there is another way of doing this by webcam and projector right? So that the webcam picks up the images, and you can project onto it.

    I know it's something completely different, but I want to ask if it's possible to bypass a VPN block you have on some sites.
    If so, could you do a tutorial on it?
    I also want to ask if it's possible on iOS.

  • @user-nn6nq8kv3y

    Thanks for this video, it helped me wrap my mind around some basic stuff I need to look into. Question I'm a motion graphics designer, how can I use my skills for this? I really want to get into doing custom designs for big events but I don't know if knowing motion graphics software can help at all.

    • @daahsri
      @daahsri 5 років тому

      Yes it will cause you can create your own custom effects. However if you have the cash i HIGHLY recommend buying. Lightform set up. Look up Lightform on youtube, would pair better with your skillset

  • @Frybeugens

    So the animations we see in the projection mapping videos are created with another program then imported into VPT? Do you have a recommendation to making those animated videos?

  • @ymxb6253
    @ymxb6253 10 років тому

    Hello tinker nut. I am a big fan, and as you may not have seen some of my videos, I am a raspberry pi fan. In this project you used a projector you got on Amazon for around $60 if I correctly remember. I would like to project xbmc for raspberry pi onto my wall so my question is, how is the quality of the projector? Do you like it? And would you suggest it to anyone else? I am a kid so I don't care as much about resolution because I am not as skilled as you more experienced tech people.
    If you could please reply that would make my day! And maybe you could put out a quick review video of the projector!
    Thanks

    Here's how you solve the puzzles:
    (Click Show More if you don't mind spoilers)
    1. The first URL is on tinkernut's website, with the missing letters and .html on the end.
    2. Selecting the entire website with Ctrl+A shows the next URL.
    3. The little snippet of text is encrypted in base 64.
    4. Image steganography, like in Tinkernut's video.
    5. Message hidden in the spectrogram of the audiofile
